Does anyone know what is wrong with Evan Campbell? Poor kid misses every Garden trip due to injury.

West - Fargo, ND
1. Denver v. 27. Michigan Tech
8. Union v. 10. North Dakota

Midwest - Cincinnati, OH
2. Minn-Duluth v. 15. Ohio State
6. Western Michigan v. 9. Penn State

East, Providence, RI
3. Harvard v. 14. Providence
7. BU v. 11. Cornell

Northeast - Manchester, NH
4. Minnesota v. 13. Notre Dame
5. Lowell v. 12. Air Force

My bracket is similar with one major exception, the Harvard and BU games are in Manchester.

Why Harvard/Providence in Manchester should happen: Harvard is a #1 seed and for holding that distinction, they should get to choose which regional they want since the school is roughly equidistant between downtown Manchester and downtown Providence. Knowing they got the Friars, I would choose to play that game in Manchester. Providence simply caught some good fortune but a non-host #4 should not be placed in a regional that by chance is in the same city.

Why Harvard/Providence in Manchester won't happen: $ $ $ N C A A $ $ $

Another prediction from another CHN writer. It's going to be crazy until noon...

MANCHESTER
1. Harvard vs. 13. Notre Dame
2. UMass Lowell vs. 3. Cornell

No such thing. All of these games are tough. And I'm sure Norm will make sure the team knows that.

Most definitely. If Lowell draws Air Force, I am sure they are capable of beating Lowell. I still think most fans would feel good about that matchup though.

Man, I hope we get that draw in Manchester. We should be licking our chops.

Re: 2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

I'm thinking this in Manchester. Could there be another date with Fake Hockey East on Lowell's calendar?

4 Minnesota
5 Mass.-Lowell
12 Air Force
13 Notre Dame

that would be a weird regional for sure

Re: 2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

If it turns out that way, and Lowell gets Air Force, they may be better off having not gotten a 1 seed.

Very likely, and it'd be in Providence.

Who goes to manchester? I think UML goes there instead.

That cost Lowell a 1 seed, but do they draw Air Force now with the 5-12?

Very likely, and it'd be in Providence.
